Farmer's factory

摘要

The Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabilization Corporation's plant is up and running, and, according to company leadership, the facility's performance is exceeding initial expectations. As part of its mission to enhance economic opportunities for its member farmers, the cooperative took the dramatic step in 2004 of buying its own processing and cigarette-making plant. Recently, cooperative leadership gave an extensive tour of the facility. Tobacco Farm Quarterly was on location to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the farmer-owned factory in action.
